Description  

For adults at any experience level who want to improve their drawing skills in a positive, creative environment.  Learn to see the world in a whole new way with a great instructor with lots of experience and knowledge to share.  Students will discover a range of drawing techniques through exercises designed to develop an awareness of line, volume, form and colour.

Basic – an introduction to drawing for beginners, where we explore the art of seeing things as they actually are. The objectives... 

• Overcoming the fear of mark making. 
• Encouraging creative expression with a variety of simple and freeing exercises.
• Building on the energy of those explorations to introduce simple approaches to line work, shading and contrast.

Intermediate – building existing skills of each student.  Techniques demonstrated in composition, indicating movement, use of materials (pen and ink, conte, charcoal, etc.), how to render 3-dimensional objects in a 2D space, and lost and found edges. 

We will also explore the creative use of colour and different methods of mark making.
